Pulling Cable

Spent the afternoon and evening yesterday pulling cable under the house. I was surprised to see only one dead mouse under there. It had long ago stopped smelling, so I ignored it in favor of getting my wiring job done.

I pulled four ethernet drops and two coaxial drops to split between the den and the playroom. When I goofed up and didn’t properly locate the spot where they would go, I enlisted Kelly to help me run additional cable. Had I not made that mistake I could have shaved two hours off my job. D’oh! There is truth in the old adage: measure twice, cut once!

At lunch I will put connectors on the garage ends and then the jacks will go live. Hooray!

  1. You measure? Maybe that’s what I was doing wrong….
